In trading for Pickens, the Cowboys made their entire offense quite a bit better. It's why the receiver was worth the risk in this case, writes Doug Farrar.

After weeks of speculation, the Dallas Cowboys swung a huge trade on Wednesday with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In exchange for a third-round pick (and a Day 3 swap) Dallas landed wide receiver George Pickens.

When it comes to in-house situations, the looming extension for Parsons is front and center. The star pass rusher is entering the final year of his contract after the Cowboys picked up his fifth-year option last offseason, and is in line to receive an extension that will likely make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league.
